I have noticed a difference between the battery icon on the top bar and the battery icon on the Phone UI! When battery power drains to somewhere @ 15-20%, what both icons represent is unidentical!
One could show more battery bars than the other which is confusing! I tried adjusting the BatteryIconLevel string, but it couldn't work properly.
Is this normal?
possible to share any screenshot on this issue?
SPB Phone Suite's battery meter is also different from the battery meter at the top also..... my guess is that this might be due to the settings set differently on both battery meters ie % before alarm sounds, or % before it shuts down.....
my guess only so if this sounds stupid, then it probly does but still.... only a guess.
Hi,
I'd like to replace the stock battery indicator in the status bar with one that would indicate the remaining % of available battery.
I've looked into the Market without finding such simple tool (I'm not looking for any other fancy battery widget/tool).
So far, I found "Battery Notif", an app that does almost what I'm looking for: Battery Notif adds another icon in the tool bar with a battery % indicator but it does not remove the stock battery icon. So I end-up with 2 battery icons in the status bar, one with percentage, one without.
Does anyone know an app that would fit my needs (free preferably), or could create such app?
Altenatively, could anyone tell me how to remove the stock battery indicator because I'd be happy to keep with Battery Notif?
Thanks in advance

PS: I have a rooted HTC Desire with custom ROM 2.1
Would be interesting for me too!!!
There are two such Apps available that both show a figure in percentage in the notification bar which are very good.
1. Battery Alarm
2. Battery Minder.
Both have notifications and both show different types of info in the drop down notification window.
I've installed them both and am currently using the second one Battery Minder.
1. Battery Alarm
2. Battery Minder.

I've just tried both apps you suggested, but they don't really solve my problem:
1. Battery alarm doesn't seem to show % in the status bar and does not remove the stock alarm indicator from the status bar
2. Battery Minder indicates battery level in % (so does Battery Notif which I'm using) but does not remove the stock battery icon
What I'm really looking for is how to remove the stock battery icon from the status bar (so that I can use a more useful battery indicator such as Battery Notif)
Thank you anyway for your help

No problem... sorry they weren't suitable.
Strange though that you say Battery Alarm does not show the percentage as on my Galaxy S it did.
Go into spare parts if your rom includes it or download it. In that app, there is an option for displaying battery percentage which will display a number over the stock battery indicator except when it is at 100. I recommend making the color of text white

I re-downloaded Spare Parts from the market and, similarly, there is no option for this... Did you download from somewhere else?

the spare parts for the custom roms is different than market downloaded as the roms can be customized more etc.
I too am looking for a complete solution for the two conditions from the OP:
I used Battery Indicator Pro while on stock, and now that I am rooted I am looking to remove the stock battery indicator because it doesn't display the same information in the notifications as:
Unplugged since xx:xx Time
Discharging from xx%
Temperature
**The battery indicator itself does not drain so there is no need to have white text and the battery indicator can change color at customized levels
I am using CM-6 and I know how to enable the battery %. There is an option to disable the clock from being displayed, but I don't know of any way to keep the battery indicator from being displayed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced...
I find that using Battery Indicator Pro actually boggs down the process and drains the battery. Try this next time.
Turn on on the battery indicator and access your OEM task manager and see how long the installed apps take to load.
Next, turn off the battery indicator and do it again and see how long will it take. You will see a definite improvement.
Try this one

If you're rooted - use this - it replaces the battery with circle battery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778#
If you're unrooted - use the prior post to add a notification bar circle battery icon. Your stock battery will still appear however.
ok...
Go to Settings / CyanogenMod settings / User Interface / Status bar --> here enable the battery percentage a make the color WHITE... so you will see it better.
Have Fun

hi all, i am using Sensation XE with ICS 4.0.3. I used UOT kitchen to make a numeric battery but i'v found that when system battery comes down below 25% there is a gap between title bar battery number and the system battery figure. title bar figure is 2-6 percentage higher than system figure. seems to me, when system battery is between 14~25%, title bar figure is 6 percentage higher, while system figure below 12%, title bar figure is 2 percentage higher than system figure. the two figures are consistent when battery is above 25%. when system battery comes down to 25%, title bar numeric battery figure jumps up to 31%. i have flashed various ICS rom based on RUU of 4.0.3 but all roms have the same issue.
does anyone know the reason and how to fix it?
many thanks

i answered you in the other thread in general section
no need to make a thread twice
One of my biggest pet peeves and first world problems, is the battery icon or % or anything battery related whatsoever showing itself on my phone. I do not want to see the battery life displayed anywhere ever on my phone, it's too stressful and pisses me off seeing it. I know when my battery low, and will check it in the Settings menu myself like once a day, or see it when charging.
How do I get rid of the battery icon and % from showing in the lockscreen status bar ? I use the Xposed Wanam app to hide the battery icon on the home screen status bar. But for some reason I still see it on the lockscreen.
I have the T-Mobile Note 5, running an International Marshmallow ROM. I am using the latest official T-Mobile firmware, bootlloader, and modem. But previous Lollipop ROM's I was always able to hide any battery stuff on the lockscreen.
Any suggestions ?
Lockscreen showing the damn ugly and stressing me battery icon WHICH I NEVER WANT TO SEE EVER ON MY PHONE
Homescreen, without the battery icon, which is perfect.
Settings > Battery > Display Battery Percentage. Not sure you can disable the battery entirely tho.

Did that, and it get only gets rid of it on the main homescreens, not the lockscreen.
So I've got this little black Android icon with a negative 5 in my battery usage it says that has used 7% and there's no apps on the system is no apps anywhere on my phone with that title can anybody tell me what it is
